The Barrington Steakhouse & Oyster Bar

I just had a beer on the counter I liked the service but unfortunately I didn't have time to eat something because I was waiting for the bus but I liked the place and I liked the service

Couldn't have been better. From the greeting at the door; table near the fire; coats taken; comfortable seating; it started just right. Gaetan, our server made everything seemless, exciting and worth the experience. His 'shadow' was very competent, following his direction to a 't'. Food was well above expectations. Sauces made your tastbuds want more; steaks exactly as ordered; portions were more than adequate. Actually got everything requested; very timely, never rushed or waiting; always anticipated. Extremely pleased we chose this restaurant. If you can get in Gaetan's section, you won't have another worry your whole evening.

Barrington Steakhouse offers extraordinary food that truly impresses. Each dish bursts with flavor, making it a delight for steak lovers. However, the service leaves much to be desired. On multiple visits, we've encountered painfully slow service, with long waits even just to receive our drinks. It's frustrating because the quality of the food is exceptional, but the poor service has made us reconsider our frequent visits. If they could improve their service, Barrington would be a standout destination.

We came in on a Monday, today @ 730 to sit @ bar which was empty, told we wouldn't be able to order a drink or even oysters as they were so busy with private party. Why even stay open to public? Just say you're closed for private party.

These guys had a stall a sommo festival. Hour plus wait for food and half the food cancelled after waiting over an hour. Lobster roll was laughable and we were straight up served raw potatoes, maybe partially microwaved at best.

We made reservations 2 months ago. We arrived and were told that there was a private party which took up the entire main floor and bar area. We were seated upstairs. There was no atmosphere. Very dark and only 6 other patrons the entire time that we were there. Food and service were very good. Overall disappointing. We might as well have eaten at home. Zero ambience.

We ordered Cigar tenderloin and Tenderloin for dinner, medium-rare. The Cigar was delicious and fantastic compared to the Tenderloin.
I ordered scallops for appetizers which also had amazing taste!
Highly recommend this restaurant if you travel to Halifax❣️

Wonderful restaurant! Service was above and beyond, shout out to our waitress Olivia! She was super friendly and enthusiastic. She took great care of us. Super professional and helpful.
Celebrated my birthday there.
The lobster bisque was super flavourful and the half lobster tail was a very pleasant surprise!
The tenderloin steak was done to perfection!
The chef is very talented!
The creme brulée was also very creamy.
10/10 recommend!
A true Halifax gem! Love it!

Service was good. Steak for the price was not the best. A side of vegetables for $10 and what came out wasn't very impressive. Would probably choose elsewhere for steak next time.

Great service couldn't ask for a better waitress thanks Olivia! Will definitely be coming back highly recommend this place to anyone that's in the area looking for a good drink and a great meal!

Nourriture bonne dans l'ensemble. Très déçu de la portion de foie gras poêlé qui était 2 mini morceaux. Le croûton qui était dessous était beaucoup plus gros. Porterhouse très bonnet cuisson très belle.
